Americans Split Over Geithner’s Job Performance

    Susan Davis reports on politics.

    Americans are almost evenly split over their feelings towards Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, who’s had a rough start on the job at a time of economic turmoil.
    According to Gallup polling, 42% of Americans approve of Geithner’s job performance while 40% disapprove. 18% have no opinion.
    As Gallup notes, Geithner is one of the more high-profile Treasury secretaries in recent history, and the recent uproar over millions in bonuses doled out to executives at American International Group Inc., did damage to his early reputation.
    Geithner’s approval ratings are significantly lower than his boss’s. President Barack Obama has a 64% approval rating and a 30% disapproval rating.
    To no surprise, Geithner’s approval ratings fall on partisan lines. A majority of Republicans, 63%, disapprove of the secretary while 21% approve. His numbers among Democrats are almost the mirror opposite—61% approve while 19% disapprove.
